Zooming both axes together is a useful, and visually appealing, thing to do. I would be inclined to think that a single zoom wheel (perhaps vertically mounted at one end of the panner widget, with a button at top or bottom to reset it) that controlled zooming in both axes together would be the most useful _single_ control we could have -- better than having _only_ the horizontal zoom, and probably better (because more straightforward and with a more intuitive effect) than having two separate zoom wheels as in Sonic Visualiser. However, I can't manage to persuade myself that we will actually get away without the horizontal zoom in the matrix. I think there will be a lot of users who still want it. It may be that we could get away with relegating it to a less obvious place (e.g. a smaller set of options in a menu somewhere), so that you can _choose_ a horizontal stretch/zoom factor, but you more often just casually roll in and out with the two-dimensional zoom.
